Breaking the Frame is a podcast featuring interviews that explore how museums and the people who work in them shape American history and culture — past and present. Our guest this episode is Dare Turner, the first full-time curator of Indigenous art at the Brooklyn Museum. Her curatorial work has been distinguished by projects that advocate for North American Native artists and communities in museum spaces, and she has been involved in collaborative projects that connect Indigenous- and U.S.-focused American art collections together.
